Laura vaccaro seeger biography of albert

It’s a scenario that is familiar to all parents: you and your child are in a toy store, or walking past an ice cream truck and instantaneously, your child’s “want monster” kicks into high gear. Often, giving in only leads to more and more wanting. What to do? The Want Monsters takes a unique and humorous look at how one boy learns how to calm Oskar, his “Want Monster.” He says that often Oskar is a fun and lively companion, urging him to push the envelope in all sorts of situations–eating too much ice cream, playing video games until his thumbs fall off, needing to be the center of attention “way too much.” But the boy gets tired of the drama and fallout from it, and, after getting some advice from a wise worm, finds a way to tame Oskar without hurting his feelings–or destroying the good and motivating energy that “wanting” can also generate. This is a warm and relatable story for children ages 4-8, with beautiful, bright drawings that are executed with humor and subtlety.

PICTURE BOOKS

This curated library of children’s books that foster the concepts of wonder, curiosity, and questioning has more than 80 entries, with quite a few Picture Books for young readers, as well as some Early Chapter Books, and a few Middle Readers. (Questioning books seem to taper off for older children, which is another topic.) Whether the questions are in the titles or running throughout the book, these authors and illustrators have discovered the secret to engaging their young, inquisitive readers.

Our gratitude to librarian Traci Sanders, who chose these special books and wrote short notes about each one for AMoreBeautifulQuestion.com. We did a profile of Traci and her children’s library of question books in this post.

Please feel free to send us any related children’s books to add to this “Children’s Library of Question Books.” (And also check out our recommended books for any inquisitve and creative adult readers you may know.)

Ask Me

A lovely glimpse into a father and daughter’s heartwarming conversation on a beautiful fall day. Full of fatherly questions, often “recommended” by the little girl, this book will either bring back memories or inspire you to make new ones—maybe both.
